Im currently searching for a new training wheelset cause my old wheels are getting loose, old, and I want a change if possible. My current wheels are Easton vista SL, wich I think are good training wheels and served me well. My racing/TT wheels are 2009 cosmic SL.

I also have a set of shimano WR-500 but havent riden them a lot on my road bike. They look pretty heavy and flexy. Any of you think they could do the job?

What im looking for is a wheelset that is:-strong-reliable -cheap -somewhat not too heavy ( max 1750g)-Pretty low profile

I'd also like to race on this wheelset if possible (even if its cheap and strong). Is there something similar to my Easton vista SL qualitywise? (dont tell me to buy another set of vista SL lol). I can have some good deals on fulcrum, sram, dtswiss and campy wheels. Im running Sram if that matters. (obviously dont want to buy campy cause it wont match the sram drivetrain!!).

They've also, apparently, performed surprisingly well in some wind tunnel tests.

No they're not light. But they are reliable and they're your cheapest option being that you already have them!

Otherwise I can recommend the Token 30A SL's - been very happy with mine so far. And...*marketing hype alert*...one chap in the store where I got them said that apparently as they wear in they spin up more and more easily.Will come in about the 1650g range, but bear in mind they are 30mm.

Otherwise some handbuilt 30mm Kinlin's with some decent hubs (talk to legs11 or the lads in the wheelbuilding thread) will come in under weight and not cost a fortune.

On this forum, define cheap. I bet most guys here train on wheels that many would consider race-worthy. I do most of my training on Campy Eurus as an example.

IME, the Campy/Fulcrum wheels are built to better tolerances that other wheels. This is especially noticeable at the lower pricepoints. Depending on how good of a deal you can get, I would suggest the Campy Neutron (not the Neutron Carbon, more expensive with carbon hubshells). The Neutron are low profile, well built, laterally stiff, very durable, good hubs easily serviceable, reasonably light. As a good friend of mine would say "Don't cheap out".
